Our Great Leader Mam Jalal Passed Away

WAARmedia
our great leader and former Iraqi President Jalal Talabani passed away in a Berlin hospital at the age of 83.

A close family friend and a senior Kurdish official say Talabani died after his condition rapidly deteriorated on Tuesday. He had suffered a stroke in 2012 and was moved to a German hospital later that year for treatment.

Talabani led one of Iraq’s main Kurdish factions and went on to become the country’s president after the 2003 U.S.-led invasion toppled Saddam Hussein. He was often seen as a unifying elder statesman who could soothe tempers among Iraq’s Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds.
